Top Tip Number 4When you are about to spray your latest creation, do you suddenly live in fear of getting the dreaded "creeps". Well, here is a tip worth noting. It`s not my idea, but I learned of it many many years ago, and it cures the problem. Part of the secret is applying you masking tape correctly, by that I mean honing the edge down thoroughly either with some smooth firm object, or even your finger. Next, before applying your secondary colour, apply a very light coat of your base colour over the edge of your masking tape. This will seal the edge, and even if some paint creep does occur, it won`t show. Let that dry, then apply your second colour in light coats, and allow to dry. Then gently peel off your masking tape and you can guarantee a clean paint line. It works for me every time and I`m sure it will for you. Don`t give yourself the creeps.
